Eternal Moment, the film sequel of a popular 13-year-old TV drama, has grossed more than 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) since its premiere on Feb 12, despite the challenge posed by Hollywood blockbusters The Green Hornet and The Tourist.

The film follows two campus lovers after they break up in the 1998 TV series.

Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei, who played the lead roles in the TV drama, come together again in the film directed by Zhang Yibai.
